We are proud to be one of the first trans-inclusive designer clothing brands!

All Inclusive Clothing:

We provide body modification clothing and styles that help you achieve your ideal look and body shape. We offer custom cut clothing to do away with standard sizing and help clothes FINALLY fit you. But our clothing isn’t just for trans and gender non-conforming people, it is for all those who need modifications or want to enjoy our hand crafted clothing. All of our garments are hand dyed, hand embellished and crafted in our studio JUST FOR YOU! We want you to feel special because you are! But hand crafting garments takes time, so please allow about 3-6 weeks for construction, although it may not take that time. We are always happy to speed up the process for you if you need, but please contact us first. All proceeds go to helping trans folks get further in the fashion industry and helping provide give away clothing to trans folks in need.

Providing Trans* Opportunities:

Although our clothing is inclusive, we provide opportunities to the trans and gender non-conforming community in the fashion industry. We were the first company to do an entirely trans and gender non-conforming show in March of 2018. At TCC, we believe that the industry needs more trans voices and hope to continue to provide opportunities for those to be shared and heard. We also believe in being a platform of diversity, because there is no one way to be trans. We hope that one day, trans and gender non- conforming folks won’t be looked over in casting, but be a norm in our industry and judged as cis folks are.

Improving Your Look:

We are here to help! We understand it is daunting to get started presenting the way you feel. Check our page of styling advice or contact us for a consultation.

Improving Ourselves:

We are constantly trying to improve our company for you! We are always developing new products and clothing for your enjoyment and to fulfill your needs properly. We love to have your feedback on our products and your experiences. Your information stays private and confidential, but we would love to hear about your trans experience and how are products can better suit you.

How it All Started:

In the early summer of 2018, a close friend came out to the designer, Melissa Atkinson. They wanted to celebrate their friend’s new found identity with some clothing, but was hard pressed to find anything a trans woman can feel confident and beautiful in. Many things found fetishized her identity or played it up in drag. From there, Atkinson built Trans* Clothing Company, starting by catering to trans women’s needs in clothing, especially those early in transition. A year into development, TCC expanded their reach to the trans masculine community and all non conforming folks at New York Fashion Week. After some cis-folks with modification needs approached Atkinson during the coronavirus pandemic, TCC became an all inclusive designer clothing brand, with trans and gender non conforming folks in mind. In 2022, Atkinson made TCC into a nonprofit, furthering our reach to the community. Our mission is to make everyone feel comfortable in their bodies, regardless of their identity or background.

About the Designer:

Melissa Kay Atkinson was born premature in June 1994 with their identical twin. Atkinson suffered consequences from neonatal open heart surgery and lives with a paralyzed vocal cord. Later in life, they were adopted by their step dad and are one of the oldest of 6 siblings. Through bullying of their diversities and growing up in a poor, struggling and divided home, Atkinson’s mission in life was to help others in need in spite of what they suffered. Encouraged by their parents and loved ones, they were the first of their family to go off to college, attending Fashion School at Kent State University’s nationally ranked program. During the summer of 2015, Atkinson was selected to study Haute Couture in Paris, France at the Paris American Academe. On their 6 year anniversary, in 2017, Melissa married their high school sweetheart, Baylen Atkinson. In Atkinson’s senior year, they were a passenger in a life- threatening car accident and walked away with a broken arm and damaged wrist. Through this adversity, they lost their opportunity at Kent State, but was able to push through to participate in their first show at Omaha Fashion Week in March 2019, being the first all trans and gender nonconforming fashion show. In November of 2019, they incorporated the company and continues to give themselves to help the trans community everyday.
